its a lifter tick, easily 1/3 of the DOHC turbos Ive seen sound like this.Essentially your valve springs become ever so slightly fatigued thereby reducing the height on your solid lifter setup. And a result, the gap between your cam lobe and your lifter increases, causing the sound. Can be cured but it's very time consuming.
They all do that don't stress out and yes I have a impreza wrx turbo so trust me

@shai25204 adjust the tappets with a feeler gauge, find out the factory lifter gap setting.
